Ten year challenge accepted. Could not find a picture of me alone from 2009, I tried! 😂 Swipe —-> 2009 - with an almost 2.5 year old Calen 💚 and a non iPhone selfie! 2019 - with an almost 3.5 year old Sloane 💜🦄 Could not love these two more. Calen opened my heart and eyes and helped me become the mommy I am today. #nannylifemeetsmomlife #34to44forme #getsbetterwithtime #likeawine #calenz #sloaneleah #likebookends🙌🏻It’s been a week. I am ready for it to be over. I’m sad. I’m frustrated. I’m angry. And I’m exhausted. Which makes everything worse for me. I am a rock. And i just keep going. But today, this morning, I couldn’t. I just couldn’t get moving. Couldn’t start my day. Couldn’t fight. So i gave myself a break. Not an actual break but the kind where you tell yourself nothing else matters. Just take care of that little girl down the hall. Take care of the little girl inside that needs someone to protect her. And that’s what I did. I’m still exhausted. I’m still sad. I’m still frustrated. I’m still angry. But these moments with Sloane won’t last forever. She’s almost 3 and a half. Which blows my mind. I waited 40 years to become a mommy and *blink* my baby is a walking, talking human with opinions (lots of them!) and feelings (lots and lots of them) and while I miss her as a baby and can’t believe I have a 3.5 year old, I love the human she’s becoming and I enjoy being with her and can’t wait to see what this world holds for her. But for now, I’ll just lay here with her and cuddle and be grateful for all that I have and be happy that tomorrow is a new day. And soon a new week, and maybe perspective will make things seems better. Sorry for these ramblings. Have i mentioned I’m exhausted? #lifewithSloane #momlife #sloaneandmommy #sloaneleah #thisis3 #quietramblingsWhen you’ve been watching A LOT of The Little Mermaid, everyone gets a little Dinglehopper action. Even Leo. 😂 #sloaneleah #thisis3 #sloaneandleo #poorleo #itsafork #dinglehopper #littlemermaidobsessedToday I am thankful for ALL of the men and women who serve, and have served our country. We could never properly thank you for your sacrifice and the sacrfifces of your families. To my own personal Army Veteran, Erin O’Brien, you served and words will never properly express how proud I am to be your friend. Thank you for ALL that you give up daily to allow us the freedoms that we are accustomed to. Your husbands. Wives. Mothers. Fathers. Sisters. Brothers. Children. They all make it possible for those to serve our country and from the bottom of my heart I thank you, today and every day. ❤️🇺🇸💙 #veteransday #thosewhoserved #honoringthosewhoserved #rememberingthosewhoserved #freedom #veteransday2019 #thankaveterantoday #homeofthefreebecause ofthebravethe fed ex guy had just called her “your highness”, she didn’t know what to do with all that power. 😂 #sloaneleah #thisis3 #stillhalloween2019here #belleliveson #belleforever #dressup #favoriteplaytime #letthembelittle #wewereonourfrontstepsArchives

….and on the 8th night of Hanukkah, we learn something new!
Well, they say “you learn something new every day” and while the older I get the more I find that to be true, I will admit it’s been quite some time since I’ve learned anything about Judaism or a Jewish … Continue reading
